Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” synth sounds
Also recommend everything by Reggie Watts, a master of the vocal layering technique. His TED talk is one for the ages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdHK_r9RXTc

How to Understand the Universe When You’re Stuck Inside of It
Your comment reminded me of Reggie Watts’ TED talk where he impersonates an intellectual TED talk by stringing together random big words in a British accent.
⬐ kgwgkMicro is macro. Small is big. Up is down. I'm a clown! Digital.⬐ inopinatusYou got me. I actually do have a British accent.but I don't have his hair

Buzzword Ipsum
Here is Reggie Watts, at actual TED, near as I can tell live synthesizing a ted-talk out of radiation picked up through his hair.

The Church of TED
I watch this Reggie Watts talk when I need a pick-me-up:
⬐ adriandSimply brilliant. I understand some of the criticism of TED but I've seen stuff - like this clip - that is so damn good, I don't really see what all the fuss is about.And since we're talking about Reggie Watts, I have to share my fave of his: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bLFO4ZV0i4

XPrize up for Artificial Intelligence that can give a TED talk
Has it been confirmed that Reggie Watts is not a robot and has not already won this prize?
⬐ ScienzYeah, I was already wondering how they were going to reconcile that particular speech with whatever nuances of the prize rules would be required to keep people from giving a speech like that one.It gets weirder when you consider that a) an AI could have plausibly (though not likely) have generated such a speech in answer to a real question (for example, "discuss a flaw in the TED program", and b) no one rejected Watts' talk as unacceptable, though they probably would have if an AI had generated the same talk.
⬐ jereThat video is the perfect response for why this is a silly idea. A clever chat bot can beat the Turing test, but in a TED talk you don't even have to deal with probing questions. All you have to do is babble on about something vaguely inspiring.
